Funcom has announced that players of the Alternative Reality Game set in the realms of The Secret World have spent over 30,000 hours working to unravel the mysteries of the end of days. As December 21st approaches, players are investigating events in the ARG at an astonishing pace.

The ARG takes place online (and outside the actual ‘The Secret World’ MMO) in the Situation Room, a main hub where participants can live chat with each other, see updated video briefings and access several intricate puzzles that are being made available over the course of the ARGs lifespan. Among some of the tasks participants encounter are situations where they must ‘hack’ (obviously not the illegal kind) computer terminals to access information, investigate strange websites, and go through other challenges and mini-games that will put their mental capacity to the test. Players accumulate points, and they have access to a special profile page where they can track their progress.

This is one of the reasons I love Funcom. Sure, they release some half-baked stuff but they're ALWAYS pushing to innovate and try new things. This is why gamers SHOULD support Funcom. We need companies like this who have the guts to be different and unafraid to fail at something.

Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one.

I'll admit that this ARG is nothing like the previous one. The previous one was much more focused around investigating and making connections. While this one has had a litle bit of that, its also alot more Minigamie. so i donno how i feel about this ARG.

Because i can.I'm Hopeful For Every Game, Until the Fan Boys Attack My Games. Then the Knives Come Out.Logic every gamers worst enemy.
